His Pez Dispenser code is working and mine it's, but as I look at my workspace and his on the video, they seem exactly the same, except his works and mine gets errors.
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Your amazing code goes here...
System.out.println("We are making a new Pez Dispenser.");
PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser();
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n",
dispenser.getCharacterName());
}
}
public class PezDispender {
private String mCharacterName = "Yoda";
public String getCharacterName(){
return mCharacterName;
}
}

I keep getting errors and I'm worried about continuing on in the lesson until I know why

Loving the lessons by the way.

4,316 PointsOh boy. So much needless punching. It's like I did some crazy slight of hand trick, but to myself. Not sure how that went unnoticed.
many thanks

Treehouse TeacherHappens to all of us, man. Keep at it!
The half full glass says, that now you know where to look with those errors.
I'm gonna mark your answer as best, cuz I love the slight of hand trick analogy.

Treehouse TeacherLook closely at your class name where you define it. See anything funky?
Let me know if that hint does it ;)

4,316 PointsI knew I was going to punch myself, especially since I spelled checked SO MANY OTHER WORDS!
Now that's resolved but now I seem to be getting a "hey this is private" error
javac Example.java && java Example
./PezDispenser.java:1: error: class PezDispener is public, should be declared in a file named PezDispener.java
public class PezDispener {
^
Example.java:6: error: cannot access PezDispenser
PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser();
^
bad source file: ./PezDispenser.java
file does not contain class PezDispenser
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the sourcepath.
Again, things seemed to be smooth sailing up to this point. Many thanks for your time

Treehouse TeacherPrepare for more punching ;)
Anything look wrong with the file name?
/PezDispenser.java
